What's up everybody, thought I spice it up with a little foreign tongue, starring German, Chinese, Hindi, Irish, Punjabi, Turkish and English. I'm happy to be here let me just jump right in and state my beliefs. In terms of politics; I believe in a unified world, where no one is paid because money does not exist. There is a government, and there are laws, but people follow them based on there moral beliefs, not there fear of authorities. Everyone in society fulfills there role in society, and everyone is allowed what they need to support themselves and their family. I also believe we should return to a day and age where we lived relatively simple, where farm land went for as far as the eye could see, and nothing polluted the air. Everyone will grow food for themselves, or live in a small town and eat the excess food of the others. The people in towns will have jobs like, keeping the streets clean, providing room and board to travelers, performing for people, building new homes, teaching, cooking community meals, librarians, and everything in between. Everyone will accept everyone else, and the world will live in harmony. In terms of religion; I don't believe in one specific religion. I agree with things from almost all major religions, from Christianity to Taoism. I look at each religion, and if parts of it involve one person being lower than another, I don't believe it. But if something makes sense to me, at my deepest sense of morality, I will follow it. If you have seen/read Life of Pi it's a bit like that. In terms of acceptance; I accept everyone, no matter their skin color, ethnic background, religion, sexuality, gender, age or size. I believe everyone should believe the same, but unfortunately we live in a hateful world where 33 states and 180 countries deny same-sex marriage. In terms of national identity/pride; I hate America. In fact, I hate all countries. I believe the world is destined for, and will accomplish, a unification in which the system I described earlier will hopefully reside. I find the notion of countries silly to begin with, like why can't we all live in peace??? Why did we spend 50 years building up weapons to avoid a war neither side wanted?? Why didn't we just agree not to kill eachother and be done with it?? Ridiculous... I could go on all day, but I won't. In terms of drugs/drug legalization; I sincerely believe the drug marijuana should be legalized, and I can already tell that is a sentiment shared by this community, so I won't bore you by explaining the reasons it's such a great thing. It feels goddamn great, and we'll leave it at that. I don't think "hard" drugs like heroin and meth should be legal because those really do lead to bad things. I thought the same of acid, but after reading Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, I'm kinda on the fence... In terms of Nudity/Naturalism; In the confines of my home, I would love to go nude. There is nothing wrong with the human body and the whole idea of covering our "privates" was only brought on by Christianity, a religion not everyone follows, so why should everyone have to obey that part?? Unfortunately, as I am only 16, I live with my folks. They're super conservative Christians and be often debate. I do attempt to go barefoot as often as possible, though. Well, that's about all I can think of now, again, happy to be here!
If we were to have all the countries in the world unified under one banner like you describe.. What a boring culture of existence this world would be.
Welcome. I believe all drugs should be legal because no one should be able to tell anyone else what to put in their body. That doesn't mean if you go and shoot/kill someone because you're trying to cop dope or crack or meth or what not that that should be allowed... but using, without a crime, well, shouldn't be, a crime. Oh and yea, countries suck and all and your ideas about society, etc are great... if we lived in a perfect world where people did the right thing just because. Anyways, very utopic but that's okay.
itd be great if everyone was an honest person and nobody tried to take advantage of anyone or any thing and all that but the reality is that a decent percentage of people are generally decent people but there are those that aren't and a lot of people will do things to take advantage of anyone they can if they think they can get away with it. thats why laws and government in society is unfortunately necessary. none of them are perfect, some of its fucked up but think about how it would really be if there were no laws .. i'd be scared to go outside, and businesses would do all sorts of unscrupulous things ... they already do EVEN WITH all the laws and regulations for businesses, can you imagine what it'd be like if businesses could do anything they wanted at all !! the fact is, not EVERYONE is a good person, and some people have no morals. i definitely do agree with you about the idiotic drug laws in America, does more harm than good i think and creates all sorts of crime as a result. i think ppl are starting to realize this but the conservatives are so stuck in their ways and can't see whats right in front of them .. and are too fuckin stubborn to finally admit that the war on drugs is a gigantic epic fail !! I can relate to the conservative christian parents thing .. this is 2014 not 1864 get ur head outta ur ass and get up to speed with the times !! ppl like that you can't even have a decent debate w/ .. if you don't agree with their views, ur wrong, and they won't even stop for a second to really listen to what anyone else is sayin' or consider their views .. they just automatically consider it wrong w/o even looking at what they are proposing .. not everyone is gonna agree on everything and that should be okay but to them its not and they will try to attack your character just because of your views and bring morality and religeon into topics that don't even involve those two subjects. anywayz .. welcome :sunny:
I can relate to the parent thing too although I'm much older than you OP. With my mom I Just... don't debate her anymore or try to change her mind. She's gonna be the way she's gonna be and I'm gonna be mine and neither of us is changing the other. She ever starts to try to force certain things on MY children though... there will be issues (I'm sure it's coming at some point...)
Oh and about the drug thing (non mj) and the drug war.... Yes, I do think all should be legal. But at the very least drug addictions should be treated as a health problem, not a criminal one. (for use or anything non-violent).
I wouldn't want all culture to be gone. Cultural regions would still exist, but governments who bicker and fight only for power and disregard it's citizens cares.
if the world were unified undre on government, culture would still exist because the world is just too big. i mean look at all the culture in America .. the culture in my neighborhood is way different than the culture in a neighborhood such as chelsea or something .. way different. otherwise tho, i don't think all countries should be unified under one government .. think about it, if that government becomes corrupt and u get sick of it, what are you gonna do then, there would be no place else to go to ??
Hello and welcome, I read in your intro-- "16 year old kid whose ready to change the world." Welcome ! Just ensure, you don't move in circles.
Good thoughts, youngin'. Empathy, compassion are sorely lacking in modern societies. I have had the same ideas as you. The "rules " of societies have developed over the millennia. Humans COULD change the way earth is run for the betterment of all, but the human characteristic of greed seems to over ride most other characteristics of the human psyche at this point in history. Everything now has a price, including humans, to the deleterious effect on human societies. Those who can't pay do not count. I was born in 1939 and I have seen the world and it's leaders get meaner and meaner, which filters down to the rest of us. Social discourse, for one, is mean, nasty and is not befitting those who call themselves "leaders." I'm not optimistic about a man made evolutionary change to a more sane world.
